    I will try to post the Judd Beristain letter, I have a long time ago, but corruption in boxing needs to be exposed. It is a letter by a well known attorney to the attorney Gen. about fight fixing in Vegas and elsewhere, but mainly in Vegas..............it will shock many, but some do not seem to care about corruption in boxing for some reason, when you buy PPV you want the fight to be legit!

    I don't know what his card was but at least I was referring to the corruption matter he talked about.

    Horn won that fight fair and square. Whether you (or atlas) like it or not.

    Atlas is jackass.

    He got fired? really, lol, I would have never bet on that.

    Atlas is a jackass, but well, he didnt deserve to get fired for that. Lot's of jackasses in the world, you cant fire them all just for that.

    I like Atlas but he can be way over the top at times. I love his knowledge of boxing but he's a trainer, commentator, judge, ref and all other parties involved. Sometimes you wish he'd stick to just commentary, get way too involved in the decisions at the end of fights

    I'm a fan of the passion Teddy has for the sport and agree with him about a lot of things but his performance during and after that Horn vs Pac fight was ridiculous and unprofessional. His over the top antics when he doesn't agree with something has always been an issue an ultimately cost him his job.The Horn vs Pac fight was the 1st fight of there new deal with Bob Arum in bringing big fights back to free TV attracting a big audience in the USA and overseas, Teddys performance during that fight combined with his crazy antics after the GGG vs Canelo fight which both attracted criticism left ESPN with no other option.

    It would be a shame to lose Atlas from boxing. He's one of a kind and I personally loved listening to him.

    I have gotten angry with Teddy many times, but Teddy should be supported this time for telling the truth................no way did Horn beat Pac and no way is Byrd the best boxing judges judging fights today, she appears to be very corrupt! 10 - 2 El Pollo?! How damned stupid did she think the fans are?! This is why we have so much corruption in boxing, some fans actually support corruption in boxing if it supports their favorite fighter...............Teddy lived with Cus D'Amato, Mike Tyson, Kevin Rooney, etc., Cus taught them about boxing and boxing history! Teddy knows boxing.........................Max is ignorant, so is Lampley and several others, they just do as they are told! The low blows in the Kovalev/SOB fight should have been called out at the time of the robbery! There is no excuse for cheating!

    I think being a sports commentator would be the easiest job ever. You'd get paid to state the obvious and spout cliches.

    Yeah, we only see a Teddy-type in boxing, once in a 10 year or 15 yr period.
    Larry Merchant is another straight-shooter that's hard to replace. Kellerman is no match for Merchant's ability to expose boxing's corruption.
    Hopefully Teddy, and Larry Merchant can come back calling the big main event fights on regular basis, to give us fans the scoop on behind the scenes boxing corruption.
